Hi thank for compiling this list. I think you should check out this company Brainchip and consider adding their neuromorphic processors Akida to your list. Not only is it the world’s first true neuromorphic edge processor which can process inputs from all 5 senses, they also have been working with Ford, NASA, and other companies to develop products and their IP has been licensed by SoC producers Megachips and Renesas. At CES 2022, Mercedes Benz even showcased their Vison EQXX concept car boasting many magnitudes of power efficiency with Akida neuromorphic technology, which is also used to power their Hey Mercedes hot word system.
Thanks for your note. Oh yes, we know about Brainchip, great company. It is in our industry database and is being evaluated for the IMPACT 50 list.
